Synopsis

Domestic Violence: Action for Change is an accessible and comprehensive account of violence against women in the home, written by recognized experts in the field.

First published in 1993, the book has been fully updated to incorporate recent changes in policy and practice. The key strengths of the first edition— its appeal to both professionals and activists and its grounding within the refuge movement— have now been reinforced by a new emphasis on the impact of domestic violence on children and the development of inter-agency work. The second edition will be welcomed by domestic violence activists, statutory and voluntary sector agencies, and students of social work, social policy and gender studies.
